Trump Should Be Impeached And Removed-- And The Voters Should Deal With His Congressional Enablers
*Day One's biggest scumbag-- Congress' shadiest & least patriotic member* Was the whole nation focused on the impeachment hearings in the House Intel Committee yesterday? If so, they saw two very impressive witnesses-- Bill Taylor and George Kent-- about how Trump tried using U.S. foreign policy for his own personal benefit. They also saw Trump's congressional enablers trying, unsuccessfully, to undermine them and to turn the proceedings into a circus about Hunter Biden. Meanwhile the laughable excuse for a press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, tweeted that the hearing as "not only bor... more »

The F-35 stealth fighter is getting cheaper to buy and operate but the plane’s networked logistical system still doesn’t work.

Turkey Is In NATO, But It Is No U.S. Ally
*Michael Rubin* *Security, * America and Turkey point fingers at one another as the source of the problem. *Key point: *America's alliance with Turkey may be going through a realignment.

While both Democrats and Republicans criticized Jeffrey’s policy and its disastrous results for the Kurds, nothing Jeffrey said should surprise.

The Reason Why Navy SEALs Love The P226 Handgun
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * What is it? *Key point:* They will eventually be replaced by Glocks. For three decades, the U.S. Navy’s Sea Air Land (SEAL) special-forces teams relied on a pistol apart from the rest of the American military. While the Army, the Marine Corps and even the rest of the Navy toted the Beretta M9 pistol, Navy SEALs carried an entirely different handgun altogether: the Sig Sauer P226. In the mid-1980s, the U.S. military finally moved away from the M1911A1 .45 caliber handgun to a new pistol, the Beretta 92FS. Known as the M9 in U.S. service, the Beretta ... more »

Have the holidays been cancelled?
Our son who has brain cancer has decided that this year we won’t celebrate November birthdays, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Of course, we are disappointed, but he needs to be careful about viruses. But that set me to thinking about other unusual holidays. Our son Stanley died on February 13, and we were receiving Valentine cards and sympathy cards in the same mail drop. Our son Patrick died shortly before Thanksgiving, so that holiday in 1964 was pretty much a blur. I can’t even remember if we made the trip to Mt. Morris or stayed in Champaign.

Desert Eagle: A Gun That Is So Powerful That It Was Only a Hit in Movies
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * More popular in Hollywood than in law enforcement. *Key point: *A celebrity gun with limited practical utility. In the mid-1980s, a powerful new handgun quickly achieved gun celebrity status. The Desert Eagle was an innovative design that ported over heavy revolver rounds to the semiautomatic pistol platform. The pistol was featured in dozens of action films, and although expensive and not widely adopted by military services the Desert Eagle gained a cult following. Traditionally, heavy bullet calibers such as .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum were exclus... more »
The Army Wants To Resurrect Its Best Armored Anti-Air Troop Carrier
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * Why? *Key point:* Drones are creating new aerial threats to U.S. troops. Recent conflicts in Armenia, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine have demonstrated the widespread adoption of drones by state actors—as well as rebel and terrorist groups—for reconnaissance purposes and as improvised attack platforms carrying grenades or explosive charges. Most recently, Russian air-defense vehicles and electronic-warfare assets in Syria reportedly defeated a simultaneous rebel attack by thirteen kamikaze drones. To counter such threats, ground forces needed fast-reactin... more »

There are large, well-trained and well-equipped air forces that are obvious candidates for such a list. Then there are less-obvious candidates—like Russia.

Want To Start World War III? Just Sink A U.S. Navy Aircraft Carrier
*Robert Farley* *Security, * NATO's Article V is ready. *Key point:* Sinking a carrier will not be so easy. Since the 1950s, the supercarrier has been the most visible representation of U.S. military power and maritime hegemony. Although supercarriers have participated in nearly every military conflict since the commissioning of USS Forrestal in 1955, no carrier has come under determined attack from a capable opponent. In part, this is because supercarriers are very difficult to attack, but the symbolic grandeur of the massive ships also plays a role; no one wants to know what t... more »

Le Mesurier Gets Cross By Craig Murray
Perhaps the only fact on James Le Mesurier about which I would agree with the MSM war cheerleaders is that he was a very busy man. It is remarkable therefore that he found the time and inclination to follow “Philip Cross” on twitter. Given that “Philip Cross” has virtually never posted an original tweet, and his timeline consists almost entirely of retweets of Nick Cohen, David Aaronovitch and openly pro-Israel propaganda accounts, why would Le Mesurier bother to follow him?
